Disclaimer: I do Not own Seven Deadly Sins or Young Justice!

I only own my mind…. Okay let's have some fun!

Elizabeth is near the window thinking of her father whom she had a dream about, it was when he was captured by the Holy Knights, she ran away, and stolen some amour.

Artemis came into her room to talk and is currently laying on Elizabeth's bed playing with her necklace. She's also lost in thought, about what happened last night (last chapter). She's trying to open the lock memories but nothing happen and it's frustrating. Not long later the two girls were talking and laughing about who had the funniest story from childhood, so far Elizabeth is winning.

After a minute they heard Meliodas call out to them from the door, "Elizabeth, Airy."

The two girls sober up their laugher and answers the blonde male, "Yes?"

"What's up?"

"Could you ladies come downstairs in a minute?"

"Coming!" Elizabeth was looking at Meliodas with admiration and was happy to have found him.

"Whatever."

Artemis was looking at her clothes, or what's left of it but she just sigh because she was used to it. Thanks to daddy dearest. The left shoulder with the sleeve was rip off so she can see the design, it was a cherry blossom branch form into an arm band that wrap around her bicep twice and in the middle of it was a small wolf like design and something smaller next to it in red but it wasn't clear… like it wasn't finish yet.

"Um, what is this outfit for?" Elizabeth said softly with a blush forming on her face.

"…Hell no!" Artemis said bluntly with a frown and if looks can kill, the prevy blonde would be dead 100 times over.

Elizabeth is wearing the... outfit, while Artemis is keeping it at arm's length away from her.

"It's the tavern uniform." The uniform was a tight pink top, with six buttons two going across and three going down. It also has a black ribbon on the collar, the ruffles ended an inch or two above the belly button, a very short black skirt, which barely covers the butt, with a pink belt, one left black thigh high sock, and black and white slipper.

"No offence Princess but it looks a hooker's uniform." Elizabeth didn't mind Artemis's honestly but she's still slightly embarrassed about the lack of fabric on her butt. "You really are a perv Pipsqueak. No way in hell, I'm wearing this!" Artemis frowned even more at her… brother.

"I'm sorry that this guy's pervy taste are on full display..." Hawk said shamefully for his boss, who has no shame what so ever.

"No kidding. Hey Pipsqueak! You better have something else or I'm walking out." Artemis threatened and threw the 'clothes' at nearby table and cross her arms while tapping her foot to a beat that she remember.

Meliodas stop checking out Elizabeth for a second and look at Artemis like he remember something. "Oh, that reminds me I have something for you..." Meliodas walk to a door that led to who knows where, but he return with a big box in his arms. He threw the box at Artemis and continue to look at Elizabeth shamelessly, whose blush got even brighter.

Artemis place the box on the table and open it. Artemis gasped and asked Hawk where she can change.

Hawk showed Artemis a small room to change in before turning to Meliodas. "Where did that box come from?"

"I won it."

"Stop with the short answers!"

Artemis came out of the room with a different outfit on as it turns out the box was bigger in the inside because she now has a white and gold quiver that is full of arrows on her back, and a beautiful white bow with golden accents that she held loving in her hand. The outfit has thick white and green ribbons that act as forearm protectors. Artemis still has a corset on and showing her left leg but it's different and more comfortable to Artemis. The top is a silvery green and mostly covered by the corset, which is gray and black. The skirt also a silvery green and has a belt to hold it in place, the skirt reach to her right knee and she's wearing white spandex under it too, plus has a knife holder on her left thigh that's bare, and black flats. It also showed off her cherry blossom mark that she has on her left bicep.

Hawk made on noise of approval, "That outfit still has his pervy taste but it looks good on you." Elizabeth look up with gasps of excitement because Artemis looks happy in her new outfit.

"Thank you Hawk... Meliodas," Meliodas snap his head to look at Artemis because ever since they met she never has called him by his name, only the nickname she gave him, not that he minded. "Thank you, for giving me a good piece of my old life." Artemis said that with the most passion and gratitude she also gave him a small smile that reveal more than what she said out loud.

Meliodas gave Artemis a big grin and nodded to her. Elizabeth wonder what happen to her new friends when she was sleeping but before Elizabeth can ask Artemis spoke up. "So you want us to get info or rumors relating to the Sins, correct?" once she put away her new and beautiful bow.

"While we wait tables, is that right?" The princess said to the shorter blonde as he circles around her.

"Info on the Holy Knights would be nice too..."

Elizabeth gave a yelp of surprise. Artemis and Hawk turn their heads and saw Meliodas pulling up Elizabeth's skirt. "Relax, I'm conducting a size check."

"Oh, hell to the no you weren't Pipsqueak! And Princess stop letting him grope you…but…" Artemis quickly slapped Meliodas upside the head before turning her face from angry at Meliodas to sly at Elizabeth. "…unless… you like it." Artemis smirked at the dark blush forming.

Hawk speed over and somehow took hold of Meliodas, "Moron! We got the girls to bring in customers, and you're gonna scare both of them off!" Hawk shouted and started beating Meliodas. Although Artemis was still pretty piss off at the blonde sin who has no shame whatsoever when it came to Elizabeth.

Artemis is having too much fun teasing Elizabeth, who is blushing even harder. Elizabeth quickly pull down her skirt to cover her panties.

Once Elizabeth calm down enough and got Artemis to stop teasing her, she asked Meliodas some questions. "Excuse me... Meliodas-sama? There's something I would like to ask you. Are the Seven Deadly Sins...? Are you really the terrible criminal that the world says you are? If you are, what sort of crime did you commit?"

"Hey Princess you're turning into a reporter." Artemis teased again to the silver hair girl and sat on top of one of the tables close by the pair and twirl one of her new arrows.

"What sort of crime, huh?" Meliodas said tilting his head while thinking.

Artemis lean a little closer to Elizabeth and whispered, "I bet he'll give you pervert answer." Elizabeth just waved her off and ignore the archer.

"I think that the public has the wrong idea about you. After all you saved me even though you had no idea who I was!" Elizabeth said passionately to both blondes.

The blondes look at one another and Artemis bluntly explained to the Princess, "No, I think he wanted to grope you while saving your ass."

"A-Artemis!" Elizabeth blushed at her friend's honesty.

"To tell you the truth, ten years ago, I traveled all over Liones, stealing all the panties I could find." Meliodas said that with a straight face. Artemis can practicality see the panties floating around him.

"Called it." Artemis flex her fingers ready to hit him also she was eyeing her bow that she needed to practice on. Artemis thinks she found a good target as she eyes Meliodas.

"You're joking, right?" Princess strutted.

"I am." Meliodas said

Elizabeth sweat drop and practically dropped.

"Told ya." Artemis proclaimed

"Shhh. I actually groped the boobs of over 1,000 girl." Meliodas said that with a straight face

"I can't tell if you're kidding or not." Artemis made a sweat drop face and played with bow's string. Testing the strength of the string, which is pretty strong.

"Boobs? T-that's a joke, right?" Elizabeth stutter again.

"It is." Meliodas replied.

"Please stop toying with me!" The princess yelled at the Sin as her face got a deeper blush.

"Oh be serious!" Artemis said to the blonde who doesn't want to give a straight answer to the Princess. But right then and there she got an idea to why he doesn't want to answer, it's what she would have done. No, actually it's what she did do, hiding from her teammates and not telling them in case they react badly. "I don't think he will besides it must be really heinous if he's not speaking about it." Artemis spoke up for him.

"Is it?" Elizabeth asked the male who still has an indifferent look on his face.

"Well maybe.. "

"So that's a yes." Artemis believed, but also made a mental note to speak to him privately.

The giant green pig that was carrying the bar made an unexpected stop which made everyone lose balance, Artemis had her grace and agility to keep her up right on the table and not on the floor like Hawk but Elizabeth didn't have much luck.

"Hey, be carefully." Meliodas caught Elizabeth by the waist and manage to get a full face press on her breast.

"Cut it out!" Both Hawk and Artemis shouted at the blonde.

They all went outside and saw the village that was down the hill.

"Oh, we're here? This is our next source of information Vanya Village!" Meliodas sound excited for this village.

Hawk's mom went underground and Artemis remember something important. "Oh, right." Artemis walked a little closer to Meliodas and gave him a mighty punch.

"Huh… Ouch!" Meliodas was on the floor about 15 feet away, rubbing the cheek she hit, "What was that for Airy?"

"You know damn well!" Artemis growled at him but what's bugging her just a bit is that she's getting stronger. She knew she was a little weak when she first met them but she wasn't so strong to punch someone back 15 feet, well not without her powers helping her. Artemis look at her hand in shock but curiosity wasn't that behind either.

As they are walking down the path that goes to the village Meliodas started talking about the village and their special ale, "I get my liquor from all over, but Vanya's is special."

"Why?"

"Vanya Ale is made from what's touted is the finest water in all Liones and the grapes that grows along the river. It has fans all over."

"Maybe so, but that famous water of theirs has gone bone dry." Said the pig looking down the bridge they were on.

"Damn, what a bad drought, but something's wrong with this picture." Said the archer. Artemis walked a little closer to the bank when she saw the herbs.

"The herbs along the bank are withered, too." Elizabeth noticed and point out.

Artemis walked a little closer to the bank where Elizabeth pointed to the herbs but got deflated when she got close enough and saw they were completely dead, "Man that would have been good help," she whispered to herself. Artemis had lessons and was trained to have knowledge in poison and medicine so herbs would've helped her in the long run. Plus it would be a good way to learn, kill time and maybe even save someone's life.

Meliodas wonder what she meant, he has very good hearing. "Hm, Airy-" But somehow they all heard the commotion in the villages. Artemis tense up, Elizabeth was curious and Meliodas was indifferent.

Hawk was the only one to say something, "What's going on?" So they walk a little faster towards the village.

In Vanya Village main area there's a large group of people in the middle of the courtyard. "Look at all the people! Do you suppose it's a festival?" Elizabeth excitedly said.

Artemis saw that there is more men than women, "I don't think so Princess. There isn't many women out here." Artemis continue watching the men fight over something.

"Yo!" Meliodas addressed the villagers.

"Hey, it's the owner of the Boar Hat!" One of the men recognize Meliodas and greeted him, well kind of.

"Someone's famous." Artemis proclaimed and look at the different building and the well close by.

"Shh, what festival is this?" Meliodas asked while Artemis gave him a glare before walking closer to Elizabeth.

"Does this look like a festival to you? We're trying to pull out a sword that a Holy Knight jabbed into the ground!" The man yelled while throwing his hand back to show the commotion of all the men trying to take out a sword from the ground.

"Hey! It's was only a question. And that's very Arthur like…" Artemis yelled back but quietly said the rest. Elizabeth nodded and look worry for the villagers who are trying their hardest to pull out the sword.

"A Holy Knight stuck his sword in the ground. But why?" Meliodas asked some of the men but an older man came from behind them and explained, "The other day, we incurred the wrath of this Holy Knight. He infused the sword with mana and sealed off all the groundwater sources under the village."

Artemis was listening to the older man but he said 'mana' she briefly remember Meliodas mentioning it for a moment. "Mana?"

"Oh right, it's what you use for your wind and nature powers in other word its magic within your system."

"Ah thanks."

The man from before said, "If we don't do something, it won't just be our water, we'll lose our fruit, too!"

Another distress man spoke up, "If that happens, there'll be no more Vanya Ale... Damn it!"

Artemis and Elizabeth started to wonder what kind of Holy Knight could cause this much damage, Elizabeth turned to Meliodas and asked, "A Holy Knight? Wait, could it be the one that you defeated, Meliodas-sama?"

Artemis thought for a second and compared the damage. The knight was prideful but he didn't look the type to cause this emotional damage, "Highly doubt it."

Meliodas confirm Artemis's though, "You mean that 'Twigo' guy? He's no Holy Knight or more precisely, the real ones are way worse than him."

Artemis looked at Meliodas and started to wonder if he was a knight but shrugged it off and listen to the old man, "Only the power of a Holy Knight can draw out the sword of one. It'll be difficult to break it to everyone…" he said the part quietly to where only the travelers heard, "… but this village is done for..."

Elizabeth yelled in shock "No!"

Artemis's eyes got wider and shook her head at the statement, she look around and saw the men giving up, "…not cool."

Before anyone could say anything else, a young boy started to yell out confidently to the crowd, "What's with all the pathetic moaning and groaning, you guys?"

"Who's the kid?" Artemis raised an eyebrow and asked but some man answer her without knowing it.

"Mead!"

"Never mind."

Mead is a short kid with messy light brown hair, gray eyes, a dark teal shirt with a cover on his shoulders, a small x scar on his left cheek and brown pant and sandals.

"Some Holy Knight's sword stuck in the ground is nothing. This would be a piece of cake for my buddies, the Seven Deadly Sins!" Mead beamed out but instead he got an angry crowd yelling at him.

"That's enough, Mead! Whose fault do you think it is that we're in this fix?! Of all the things to say! Why bring up those criminals?!" A middle age women yelled at the kid.

"She's right! Don't make the Holy Knights any angrier! Do you have a grudge against us?!"

Artemis watched this play out then she recognizes the kid was hiding his true feeling... Meliodas look at her when was snap her head to look at 'Mead' when she figure it out.

"Oh, come on... That isn't why I did it!"

"We've had all we can take of your lies and mischief!"

"Mead, you're a jerk!" Two little kids threw rocks at Mead but they only manage to hit Meliodas in the face and Artemis almost everywhere.

"Seriously?"

"Humph! I hate you guys!"

"Yeah, well we hate you more, Mead!"

Meliodas grabbed Mead and placed him in Artemis's arms and started running away from the angry crowd that was throwing more rocks and wanted to get to his tavern faster.

"Hey, why are you dragging me?! Answer me Pipsqueak!"

"Serves you! Jerks! Jerks!"

"Why are they hitting us?"

"Stop it, all of you!" the old man shouted to the villagers.

Meliodas got Artemis and Mead into the tavern. Artemis dumped the kid on a chair and glare at her brother who drag her for no reason.

"Well, that sure sucked... Airy go gets some bandages."

Artemis glare at him for another second before he pointed to the cuts on her arm. Artemis rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah..." and went behind the bar to grab the bandages.

"Kiddo, what was all that-"

"You're a kid, too!"

"No, he's really not."

"I'm really not." The blondes said at the same time. Artemis was back with a small box and handed to Meliodas. "Ah Airy. Thank you, and sit please."

"I hate you." Artemis sat on one of the chairs that were close to the kid.

Meliodas chuckled because he knew she didn't, he checked her injuries which were a few scratches and a couple bruises here and there.

"What is this, a tavern?" the kid questioned as he turned his head to look at everything.

"Yep." Artemis impatiently answer.

"Stop moving. It's the Boar Hat. It's my place." Meliodas found more marks on her shoulders. He was putting cream on them, Artemis hiss at the cold cream and tapped her foot. Artemis wasn't used to someone helping her clean her wounds, even back in her world she would take care of herself. Hell anytime she would get hurt on a mission she didn't let the team help her. But now… Artemis didn't mind that he's helping her but it still felt weird and foreign to her.

Artemis watched the kid from the corner of her eye and noticed he was up to something before she called him out he spoke out, "I'm hungry!"

"If you answer my question, I'll feed you." Meliodas checked the back of her neck.

Artemis got annoyed, "Oh for the love of-!"

Meliodas chuckled and patted her shoulder, "You're fix up."

"Finally and thanks." Artemis used the rest of the bandages to wrap up her elbows just in case.

"Food first, then I'll talk." Mead smugly said as if he figured out something.

Artemis was about to stop the kid but Meliodas just kick her leg to stop her from talking. "Ouch!"

Meliodas quickly made chicken with vegetables and brought it out for the kid. Artemis raised both her eyebrows because she knew chicken takes a lot longer to cook but she smirked and got out of the way and went behind the bar.

"Whoa, that looks good! I'm going in!" Mead took his first bit and then... "Blech!"

"Well, he never said it was good food." Artemis amusedly smirked while pouring a drink for Meliodas and herself and walked back to the table.

"Yep! So is it true? That stuff about being friends with the Seven Deadly Sins?" Meliodas nodded to Artemis and asked the kid.

"That tasted so bad I forgot... Hang on, that smell... That's Vanya Ale, isn't it? Is it okay for kids like to be drinking that?"

"I told you, I'm not a kid."

"Hm, so you know your drink… Nice. I drank before and for your information, kid, I'm a teenager and nothing bad happens... What?" The boys have her a strange look before going back to the conversation. Artemis rolled her eyes and went back to her ale.

"That stuff tastes really good huh?"

The blondes share a look, smile and said "Yep!"

"Oh yeah."

"It's the best ale there is, sweet and full bodied!" Mead said passionately, "That's what the grown-ups said, anyways." and softly at the end while scratching his cheek that had a blush.

Artemis and Meliodas shared a chuckled and almost finish off their drinks when Elizabeth and Hawk came in the tavern after talking to the old man who's actually the village headman.

"Hey, you two." Meliodas greeted them with his mug.

"Sup Princess, Pork."

"Hawk, not pork!"

"Mead, I hear that you're quite the prankster. The village headman told me all about you." Elizabeth softly scorned the kid.

"What's with you? Who do you think you are, lady?"

"A reporter.. " the blonde girl mumbled in her mug.

Meliodas was the only one who heard her and pulled on her braid "Quiet Airy." She got him back by flicking his forehead.

Elizabeth was telling Mead a story about her father and her when she was a little girl. Artemis was thinking about her own family and was so lost in thought she didn't realize Meliodas looking at her and Mead asking Artemis a question.

"Hey Lady!" Mead called out to Artemis.

"Hm..."

"Do- do you have any family stories?"

Artemis just look at the kid with a blank face before looking at the others. Elizabeth was hoping to learn more about her friend, Hawk was waiting, and Meliodas gave an encouraging nod to say something and will make sure they won't ask too many question.

Artemis sighed, "Not really… my family is… different than Princess's but… do you want to hear it?"

"Sure." Mead didn't think she had it bad as he did but he was wrong.

"OK, but I'll keep it short. My family is not like yours or Princess because my mom was put in jail when I was six, my sister abandon me when I was eight and my father... Well how about I show you what he does on a 'good day'... Elizabeth can you pull down my dress a little?"

"S-Sure."

Artemis's back was facing them, she moved her braid to the side. Elizabeth was the first to see all the scars on her back and stared at them in shock. "Oh my...!" Mead look at her back with a face of horror.

"Artemis..." Hawk softly cry out.

Meliodas, while indifferent his mug was cracking from his tight grip. Even though he already knew about the scars and how she got every one of them it still makes him… angry. That a father could be so cruel to his own daughter and still expects her to follow his every move.

Mead started to cry and spoke truthfully, "I don't lie and stuff just to get a rise out of people, either and you don't deserve those scars…"

Elizabeth moved Artemis's dress back in place and took a step when Artemis turned around to face Mead, "You can't pick your family but you can make bonds and form your own family…" Artemis look at Meliodas, Elizabeth and Hawk before going back to the kid, "And thanks." Artemis finished the rest of her drink, wishing it can stop the memories but no such luck.

"Will you tell us about it?" Elizabeth said softly to Mead, hoping he would explain a little more.

Mead told them the story about how he and his parents came to the village as travelers a few years ago. But his parents died on epidemic and the villagers took Mead in and raised him as one of their own. He was happy for a while but he didn't have a real family to go home to. So he got jealous and started lying, joking around and playing pranks on everyone.

"Is that also why you put the bug in the Holy Knight's drink?" The silver girl asked politely.

Mead slam his fist down on the table "No! I did it because that knight treated everyone like crap!"

"So in your own way you were fighting for them." Artemis understood what he felt, he didn't want them to worry about him because what if he was upset or hurt... he didn't know who or where to go to, so he put on a strong, cocky face in front of the villagers so he can be a passing thought to them. It's what she did to the team. Put on a strong front and kept their questions to a minimum, and now she doesn't know when she'll go back and tell them. The truth is still scary for her but she has to face it and hope for the best but for now she has the greatest friends she can ask for.

"The adults and kids alike go to a lot of time and trouble to make great ale! And that jerk insulted them all! Holy Knights are no good bastard!"

"Here here." Artemis rise her mug for a mock toast, with one look inside her mug and she needed more ale.

"What about that talk of you being friends with the Seven Deadly Sins?" Meliodas hoped Mead did know them or at least heard rumors of one close by.

"I-I lied..." Mead embarrassedly admitted.

"I see. I gotta admit, my hopes were up a little." Artemis patted Meliodas shoulder softly before filling his mug back up.

"But why would you lie about that?" The princess asked and smile slightly at the two blondes who were drinking more.

"Yeah kid, why?" as did the blond girl.

"Well, the Seven Deadly Sins are wanted by the holy knights, right? If they're being hunted by the evil holy knights, then aren't the seven deadly sins the good guys?" Elizabeth and Artemis gave each other a look then look at Meliodas.

Artemis look at Mead and shrugged with a wink. "More or less."

"What?" Meliodas look up at the girls.

"Nothing " they said together with a small laugh that sounded like silver bells to the boys.

They heard a louder commotion from the village then before, "That's coming from the village!" Mead's worry for his village and ran out the door.

"Mead!" Elizabeth yelled worriedly for the kid.

"Hey wait up!" wanting some fun Artemis followed Mead outside.

"Lady…" Mead was shock but happy that she wanted to help him.

"Grab my hand." Mead hesitantly grabbed onto Artemis's hand but Artemis tighten her grip used her power of wind to get to the village faster. Mead was screaming from the top of his lungs at the speed, they got to the village and they heard the villagers talking about Mead and his mistake.

"Damn it, if only Mead hadn't pulled that stupid stunt..." Mead let go of Artemis's hand and ran pass the villagers and guards to get to the sword and he try to pull it out.

"Mead!" A villager yelled out in surprised.

"You again? This isn't gown be any fun at all if it's just the kid. The levy is now 20 times normal!" The guard shouted out to the people. They were getting more upset with Mead and the levy they had to pay to the ugly guards.

"You can't pull out that sword, and you know it." One of the men yelled at Mead who ignore him and the rest of the villagers and continue to try and pull out the sword.

"That's enough!" The middle age woman shouted with worry and distress.

"Nobody likes you. Or wants you here. Get out of my way," Artemis pushed the guards, quite harshly, out of the way to get closer to Mead, "Excuse me. Mead!"

Artemis finally got to Mead and softly push Mead to the side a bit. "Lady… why?" Mead questioned her when she placed her own hands on the sword.

"Let's Arthur this sword up, shall we." Artemis took hold of the sword and pulled on it making it come out about a foot or two. Everyone gasps because after days of trying to pulled the sword out or at least get it to move an inch… but this girl, came out of nowhere and pulled it out a little but suddenly the mana within the sword electrocutes her and throws her back into a building.

"Lady!" Mead yelled out of fear if she was badly hurt from the shock and slamming into a wall.

"I was not expecting that…" Artemis started to get up and held her now bloody hand while looking at Mead with determination. "Mead, I'm good, besides didn't I loosen that bloody sword already?"

"Y-yes."

"Now go and finish pulling that damn thing out." Artemis was still feeling the lighting from the sword and her hands were bleeding. "Damn that hurts like a mother-…"

Mead and some villager kids went back to the sword, but it still wouldn't come out, even with some of it already out. Some of the other older villagers try to stop them but they didn't listen and try with all their might to pull it out. The older man, the village headman, from earlier walk out in front of the crowd. "Headman…"

"Who was it that wounded our pride as ale markers? Was it Mead? No! Haven't that boy's actions always expressed what we all really felt?" The Headman change everyone's thoughts.

The woman and the kids who threw rocks at him started to help Mead and the others pull at the sword. "Auntie?"

"The headman is right. You aren't to blame."

"Hey! Did you people hear what we said it's 20 times now! 20!" The guards shouted while sitting on a water hole and drank some ale they stolen.

"Oh, do shut up!" Artemis said to them bluntly, swipe the mugs from their hands and kick them off the water hole.

"Leave this to the menfolk, Mead. Okay!" One of the man said to him but Mead wouldn't move so the men just help him out. "Let's do it!"

"Finish what I started Mead!" Artemis shout passionately as she saluted with a mug.

"It's not even budging!"

"Come out! Come out damn it!"

"Look at the desperate expression on his face!"

"Here's to morons!"

"People who can't appreciate good booze don't deserve to drink it." Meliodas took the stolen ale from one of the guards and Artemis handed another mug to him as he walked towards the fallen group of men and Mead who tried their best to pull out the sword.

"That hit the stop. Sorry, I don't have any money on me right now." Meliodas walk up to Mead and set down the empty mugs he drank from, "Can I pay with this?" Meliodas smoothly pull out the rest of the sword for all to see.

"Impossible! Only a holy knight could pull out that sword! How could a kid like that... What's that sound?" The guards were shocked and the water hole they sat on exploded with water and drop kick their asses.

'He's amazing, all right... That's the power of one of the seven deadly sins.' Elizabeth thought while watching Meliodas.

"Hang on, mister are you and the lady really…?" Mead question him and Artemis who were rebadging her hands.

"Yep! I really am the proprietor of a fine drinking establishment!"

"Yes! I really this guy's sister and bartender!"

"That's not what I meant!"

"We know. Enough about us, don't you have something left to do?" The blondes said to Mead as the villagers came a little closer while looking guilty, ashamed and embarrassed for their actions.

"Mead... What we did was wrong can you ever forgive us?" The Headman apologize to Mead.

"What right do I have to forgive you? I'm not one of you..." Mead's voice started to crack but he needed the push that the blondes gave him.

"Go on." Artemis and Meliodas push him closer to the Headman and the villagers.

"Wh-what the hell? What do you mean, go on? I don't... understand..."

"Mead..."

"Mead..."

Mead finally crack and started crying and run all the way to Headman, hugging him and anyone else he can put his arms to, it finally felt like home for Mead and the villagers.

"You can lie to yourself all you want, but you can't fool your heart." Meliodas said to the girls and himself. Artemis looked at the villages with a sad smile on her face before pulling Elizabeth and Meliodas into her own hug which they returned.

"A toast to Meliodas and Artemis of the Boar Hat! Cheer!"

"I'm... not sure if I'll be any good... It's my first time doing something like this. My heart is pounding." Elizabeth was very nervous and Meliodas was taking full advanced at that.

"Ah, I see. It's your first time. Trying saying it again. One more time. Ouch!"

"Prev…" Artemis hit Meliodas on the head and it gave him a bump.

"Artemis! You are supposed to be resting." Elizabeth told at the stubborn healing blonde.

Artemis raised an eyebrow, "And you are getting hot and bothered on your first try and you haven't even started." Artemis sighed and calmed down a bit, "Just try to do the job first than work up to gathering info."

Meliodas nodded with agreement, "She's right, don't worry about gathering Intel. Just focus on your waitressing today. The important thing is to relax while you're out there."

"Right! I'll be relaxed!"

'She's doomed...' everyone, but a certain long silver hair and blue eye princess, had the same though while watching Elizabeth work for the first time.

"Sorry! I mean it, I'm so sorry!"

"You didn't order this? Then who..."

"Over here!" A man try to somewhat help out.

"Coming!" Elizabeth turned but tripped and the food landed on the man's face, luckily he was nice and didn't give the poor girl grief.

"Looks like I'm gonna have no shortage of scraps." Hawk said plainly, Meliodas and Artemis watched Elizabeth with no emotions and nodded their heads in agreement.

After watching Elizabeth trying to work, Artemis helped out and fix a lot of the orders, while Mead was giving Elizabeth grief when she took a break. "You've never waited tables here before have you?"

"Eep!"

"A blind man could tell. You totally suck at it!"

"Mead! Don't you start talking big again?! Haven't you learned your lesson from today? If you get too full of yourself, we'll leave you in the Forest of White Dreams." The auntie scold the cocky kid but he quickly change his attitude.

Elizabeth was eavesdropping on their conversation and found out that there was a Forest that was so scary and spooky that even the holy knights won't go near it.

Approx. 7 miles Northeast of Vanya Village. Fort Solgres

"M-moments ago, we received a report from our soldiers station in Vanya. A-an unidentified boy and girl pulled out your sword, Sir Gilthunder."

A guard showed the sword to his upper, "It must have been some random fluke that let those kids-"

"A fluke… that let kids remove a sword a Holy Knight thrust into the ground?" A young man with a powerful presence walked up to a high tower that has a big open window.

"N-no, Sir!" The guard stuttered at the question.

"Give me Vanya Village's range and heading. Be exact."

"Y-yes, Sir. It lies to the Fort's four o'clock. It's 7.3 miles away."

"Would you mind leading me your spear?" The young man said to a guard at the entrance of the door.

"Not at all Sir." The guard handled his spear and the man placed it on his shoulder and got ready. 'It should be about this angle.' The man use his power of lightning gave a mighty throw and the spear disappear into the sky.

"Now tell me about the girl..."

The Vanya Village at the Boar Hat, Artemis and Meliodas, both felt a disturbance in the air.

Artemis put down a mug she was cleaning, "Hey I'm taking a break." and walk out.

"Wait Artemis- oh well. Hey shouldn't you go after her, Elizabeth I mean? The princess ran out. Are you gonna go comfort her?"

"Gotta pee." Meliodas also walk out on Hawk.

"Sheesh, what a slacker of a boss and a lazy bartender. Responsibility for this place rests on my shoulder roasts."

Once Artemis left the tavern she saw Princess sitting by the edge but something else pull her to go outside. Meliodas step outside as well, and Elizabeth reacted. "Meliodas-sama, Artemis."

"Yo!"

"Hey!" the blondes greeted the princess.

"I'm sorry, I know I'm still on shift. But watching Mead and the villagers, it brought up memories of the father."

"Oh?"

"It's ok to think about him." Artemis try to somewhat comfort the girl.

"But I hope he's okay..." Elizabeth was feeling a little guilty and homesick but has hope for the future because of the blondes that are with her.

The blondes were looking up at the sky searching for something and moved every few seconds but Elizabeth didn't see them acting weird because she wasn't facing them, her back is.

Artemis looked up and took a few steps to the right, 'What the hell is this feeling?'

"Around here, maybe?"

"A little more to the left Pip."

"But you found me, didn't you? And Airy. If you hadn't wanted to help your people and stumbled into my place they'd have no chance at all."

"There is something you're meant do to, Princess."

"Exactly. And I have something that I'm meant to do, Airy watch out." Meliodas try to warn Artemis but it came too late.

"Wha- OUCH!" Artemis got a new cut on her hand this time her left hand since her right got cut up by the sword's lightning. And both blondes fell down the cliff.

"Meliodas-sama! Artemis!" The princess screamed in fear.

'What the hell was that?' Artemis thought while getting up and checking her hands, Artemis was a little upset that both hands were cover in blood and she just change her bandages too. 'Damn it.'

Elizabeth came running down the hill to check on her friends that fell down the hill in a fast pace. "Artemis! Meliodas-sama! Does that spear belong to the Holy Knight who attacked the village?"

"Ohhh, probably. That's the same energy I felt earlier." Artemis finally figured out but knew she had to talk to Meliodas about the strangeness of her powers and new found strengths.

"She's right, I think that's our hint to leave the village as soon as possible." Meliodas flexed his left hand that was also bleeding.

"But what if this place is attacked again?" Elizabeth worried for Mead and his family.

"They're in more danger if we stay, Princess." Artemis told the princess.

"It'd be nice if we had a place we could hide." Meliodas said to the girls and look up at the night sky.

"Now that you mention it..." Elizabeth remember the conversation with Mead and his auntie.

"What is it?"

Elizabeth explained what she heard from Mead about the Forest of White Dreams and how holy knights don't even go in there. To Meliodas and Artemis it sounded like perfect for place for them to hide in for away.

"That settles it, then. But we're not gonna hide. We're gonna do what we're meant to do." Meliodas said excitedly.

"What does that mean?" The princess asked.

"Hold up you don't mean..." The archer thought it was crazy that they would find another...

"Yeah, I bet that one of us lives there. Let's go! Let's find my fellow Sins!"

"Right!" Elizabeth said excited.

"Well let's get on with this adventure then Pipsqueak! Princess!" Artemis grab them to get to the giant green pig faster and tell the villagers to get out and go home.

A couple of miles away is a girl sleeping on the forest ground.
